Historian. Podcaster. Writer.

Juliana Byers

Welcome! I am Juliana (she/they), a passionate historian and researcher with a love of creative writing.

This is the place where you can get to know me, check out my research, read my writing, or listen to my podcast. If you’re looking to get in touch, those details are here too.

My mission when it comes to history is to cut through the politics and the mythology and try to uncover what really happened. On my podcast “The Skeptical Historian” I explore famous (and sometimes not-so-famous) historical events from Australia and around the world, through a skeptical lens. 

I encourage you to ask questions, think critically, and feel free to respectfully disagree! My hope is that people come to history with an open mind and are encouraged to challenge the accepted myths and get closer to the truth. History is not static, and we do a disservice to the past by pretending it is sacred, untouchable and set in stone.

History is a pack of lies about events that never happened, told by people who weren’t there.
